Research Laboratories
The rapid creation of value through the cooperation among the laboratories, each of which is responsible for a specific step in the drug discovery process
Drug Discovery Laboratory: The mission of this division is to discover candidate clinical drugs from a very large number of compounds, mainly in the diabetes and diabetes-related therapeutic areas. Researchers use established and efficient research methodologies to accomplish this mission. Collaborations are also in place with overseas institutes with highly efficient and advanced screening technologies for the creation of innovative new drugs in these therapeutic areas.
Pharmaceutical Research Laboratory: New drug candidates discovered by the Drug Discovery Laboratory undergo strict evaluation to elucidate the pharmacological properties, pharmacokinetics, safety, etc. The laboratory is also actively engaged in adding value to products that are already on the market by striving to expand the indications of these drugs and researching new uses for the drugs.
Pharmaceutical Technology Laboratory: This laboratory effectively capitalizes on its technologies to develop new formulations that are more effective and easier to use.
Mie Research Park advances the frontiers of drug discovery through cooperation among these three laboratories.
In addition, Mie Research Park features a researchers’ office to cultivate the borderless integration of knowledge through the interaction of researchers from various backgrounds. The environment in the office resembles that of a living room to enable the researchers to relax and exchange information freely, and to cooperate in the solution of various issues.
